Kate Bosworth

Kate Bosworth Biography

Unlike the characters Kate Bosworth has portrayed in television and in film which are known as "townies", Kate spent most of her childhood in different cities and states. At age 6, she and her parents moved to San Francisco, then to Connecticut at 9, and to Cohasset, Massachusetts, at 14. It was at 14 that Kate, a champion equestrian, learned of a casting call for a movie about horses. Although Kate attended the open audition in New York for the Robert Redford film The Horse Whisperer (1998) simply in hopes of getting the experience of what it was like to audition for a movie role, she won the role of the female leads best friend and the chance to work with director/star Robert Redford . Her previous acting experience had consisted of singing at county fairs in California and acting in a community theatre production of "Annie". However, since landing the movie role, Kate seemed to be in more sound stages than ranches. Fearful that an early career would rob her of her childhood, she took 18 months off to live a normal life before opting to plunge into acting again. In 2000, she landed the role of the bratty sister in the feature film The Newcomers (2000) and the part of a football co-captains girlfriend in the Denzel Washington movie Remember the Titans (2000). Throughout high school, Kate maintained academic excellence and was an honor roll student and a member of National Honor Society. In her spare time, she has volunteered with various non-profit organizations, including a Los Angeles program for physically challenged children who learn to ride horses with assistance.

Kate Bosworth Quotes

• There are girls, people in the industry who just kind of flip through magazines and pick out guys, like, "Im gonna date him". I could never do that. I dont think being set up works. Im big into fate.
• [on the changes that will follow her life and career after being cast as "Lois Lane" in Superman Returns (2006) ]: Im ready for this. Im just glad my breakout wasnt a gigantic film. I feel solid in myself now.
• [Talking about modelling her Lois Lane performance on Katharine Hepburn ]: I watched a lot of Hepburn (Katharine Hepburn ) to prepare for Lois, particularly The Philadelphia Story (1940) and Guess Whos Coming to Dinner (1967) . Hepburn (Katharine Hepburn ) is a great model for how I see Lois - strong but fragile.
• Im in love with what I do but its not the only thing that fulfills me.
• I think probably trying to please too many people. Sometimes I get so caught up in making other people happy that I just sort of forget about making myself happy and you obviously need to make yourself happy.
• Everybody makes mistakes, including role models, so you should just learn and grow from it. Even the best role models do screw up and learn from their mistakes, and I think it is just completely unrealistic to say that role models are perfect. Personally, I think perfection is boring, and secondly, I just think that its okay to make mistakes.
• As an only child, you either become a loner or you learn to put yourself out there, which my parents encouraged.
• I dont really get star-struck, but I do get talent struck. If I meet somebody that I think is just wildly talented and brilliant, thats when I start getting nervous.
• [on the experience of living with her co-stars during the filming of Blue Crush (2002) ] Of course everybody had their own little thing. My worst thing was ice cream, I was so intense about that. I insisted that no one touch the Ben & Jerrys Half Baked. If they did, it was a full-out showdown.
• [Talking to Conan OBrien about the experience of living in Sydney while shooting Superman Returns (2006) ] I love Sydney. I became really attached to the city while I was there. The atmosphere, culture and the people are just so amazing. I went for a cruise on the harbor, and the view of the city is one of the most amazing sights Ive ever witnessed. Also, everyone there is in shape, you go to the beaches and everyone just looks so fit.
• The other day a friend called and told me they made a porn film using the title of my first movie. I guess you know youve made it when theres a porn parody of a movie youve done.
• You promote your films; its part of your job. You do the magazine covers and stuff, and then I try to live a really normal life. I definitely dont try to make it into any more craziness than it is.
